9 P.M. (HBO) MEA MAXIMA CULPA: SILENCE IN THE HOUSE OF GOD (2012) Alex Gibney documents the case of the Rev. Lawrence C. Murphy, above, a Roman Catholic priest in Wisconsin who died in 1998 after having molested dozens if not hundreds of children in his care at a boarding school for the deaf, resulting in a trail of denial and cover-up from rural America to the Vatican. Mr. Gibney’s “methods are a blend of solid journalism and cinematic sensationalism,” A. O. Scott wrote in The New York Times. “The reliance on melodramatic music and lurid — though not explicit — re-enactments does not seem to me to make the movie more powerful, but rather the opposite. There is something to be said for a clear and unblinking recitation of facts, and thankfully Mr. Gibney does a lot of that.” But the heart of the film, “the real source of its emotional impact,” Mr. Scott said, “lies in a remarkable series of interviews with some of the men, most now in their 60s, who endured Father Murphy’s assaults when they were children and who have worked for almost 40 years to bring his crimes to light.” John Slattery, Jamey Sheridan, Chris Cooper and Ethan Hawke interpret their words.

8 A.M. (CUNY) IN MEMORIAM: EDWARD I. KOCH, 1924-2013 “Richard Heffner’s Open Mind” pays tribute to Mr. Koch, who died on Friday, with a rebroadcast of a 1987 interview following his first stroke. (Repeated at 2 and 8 p.m.)

8 P.M. (ABC) THE BACHELOR Sean explores his romantic connections with the 11 remaining women in Whitefish, Mont. Emily Maynard, who rejected Sean last season on “The Bachelorette,” will answer questions submitted on Twitter at @EmilyMaynard during the two-hour broadcast.

8 P.M. (Fox) BONES Angela (Michaela Conlin) infiltrates a roller-derby circuit after the dismembered body of a skater is discovered. In “The Following,” at 9, the genesis of the relationship between Hardy (Kevin Bacon) and Carroll (James Purefoy) is revealed.

9 P.M. (BBC America) TOP GEAR The 19th season begins as Jeremy Clarkson tries to build a car that is smaller than the Peel P50. James May puts the latest Bentley Continental GT Speed through its paces. And Richard Hammond takes a Pagani Huayra to the test track. Damian Lewis of “Homeland” is the star in a reasonably priced car.

9 P.M. (CNBC) BETTING BIG ON BROADWAY Maria Bartiromo interviews the gamblers behind some of Broadway’s greatest hits, including Julie Taymor, the original director of “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark”; Thomas Schumacher, the president of the Disney Theatrical Group; and Jordan Roth, the president of Jujamcyn Theaters.

9 P.M. (Travel) THE LAYOVER WITH ANTHONY BOURDAIN Mr. Bourdain spends 36 hours in Seattle, where he samples stinky cheese at the Melrose Market; fishes out of a window at the Edgewater Hotel; and learns about prostitutes and drugs on an Underworld Tour. In “Hotel Impossible: After Anthony,” at 10, Anthony Melchiorri checks on the progress of six hotels he helped last season.

10 P.M. (NBC) DECEPTION The truth about the real mother of Mia (Ella Rae Peck) is disclosed, ruining her debutante ball. And Julian (Wes Brown) tries to reignite an old romance to get a new cancer drug.

10 P.M. (TNT) MONDAY MORNINGS A weekly morbidity and mortality conference at a fictional Oregon hospital, where doctors gather for a confidential review of complications and errors in patient care, sets the stage for this new medical drama from David E. Kelley, adapted from a novel by Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Alfred Molina plays the chief of surgery; Ving Rhames, above, is the trauma chief. The cast also features Jamie Bamber, Jennifer Finnigan, Bill Irwin, Keong Sim, Sarayu Rao and Emily Swallow. “ ‘Monday Mornings’ is all about piling on emotion and pushing every scene to an edge of contentiousness or sentiment, and driving home the show’s one idea, which is that these doctors just care so much that it drives them to excessive — you might say stupid — measures,” Mike Hale wrote in The Times.

10:30 P.M. (Logo) THAT SEX SHOW This new series allows viewers to interact with a panel of relationship experts — the former porn star Katie Morgan, the psychic life coach Dougall Fraser and the psychologist Mike Dow — by phone, through video chat and on social networks. An online version features content considered too risqué for television. Heidi Hamilton hosts. KATHRYN SHATTUCK
